More Details

Summary:

An unusually high incidence of genetic diseases has been diagnosed among children born into Amish families. The Amish accept it as Gottes Wille (God's will), but modern medical science has determined that is largely the result of centuries of intermarriage. Includes interviews with Dr. Heng Wang, a pediatrician and researcher working in the Amish community, and Dr. Harold Cross, a scientist with an Amish background who first discovered the high incidence of genetic problems among the Amish back in the 1960s.
